Great body or handsome face

DanielODonnell

A question for men.

Would you rather have a big muscular and shredded body and an ugly scone or a skinny body and a handsome face?

I can imagine some people will answer "a handsome face as you can develop a great body but can't change a handsome face" for the purpose of this thread imagine that you're skinny body will remain skinny for the rest of your life.

If it's a question for men, why does the face have to be handsome?

As a woman, I'm going to answer that I would prefer a sexy ass on the man.

Is there a none of the above but a gallows humour option?

Handsome face, skinny body. Clothes look better and you won't look like a bag of prunes when older - and most women prefer a 'dad bod', anyway... so we're screwed either way

There's a wide chasm between what women say they like and they actually like.

Ain't that the bloody truth.

"An ugly scone"

I'd rather a handsome face and a skinny body, it's been the other way round long enough already, and most of the time my body is covered from the face down. Sure you can get clothes that make a blubber body look well, can't do a whole lot with an ugly pug.

Because it's a blatantly sexist question.

Would much rather a handsome face and a skinny body than a great body and an ugly face. Even if you had a great body you will still be ugly.

Good question OP. Never had to think about it before as I have a killer body and a ridiculously handsome face.

Interesting you have a "skinny body" as the alternative to an ugly face. Surely a fat body would be worse?

I know the muscular physique is the stereotypical optimum, but I never really considered skinny to be bad.

That said, I'm biased as I'm fairly skinny myself

I'd take an average height body with an unattractive face over my current short body with averagely attractive face.

Your Face

Im not giving up either one.

Yeah I would personally, as a straight man, consider the thin male physiques of the 1970s to be more aesthetic than the bulky ideal of the current period. My ideal would be to have the physique of a lean premier league footballer. I would imagine being such a body would *feel* a lot better too.

It's ok, no one is asking you to give your ugly face or your skinny body. It's only hypothetical.

Have you got room in the cellar for David McWilliams?

Pedantic cùnt time.

If you've got a great body, you're probably muscular and lean. If you're lean, then you're lean in the face too. Which means that if you're muscular and lean, then you've probably got a decent, above average looking face anyway.

There are very few ugly people out there, and this ain't some pumpkin coombia shìte either.

Considering that less and less people take care of themselves these days, its easier than ever to be above average in looks.

It's mandatory to wear a bandana when you refer to bodies as 'shredded'?

I'd go with great body. I've seen the movie Face Off, so the handsomeness could be 'borrowed'' from somebody else.

It isn't as simple as that, there are many men with great body's who are harry potter lookalikes and there are many ladies with great bodies who are not that attractive in the face.

I feel like I'm being dull-shamed On the upside, I think I have the theme for my TED talk.

Semi-serious answer; as a bloke, you just need confidence in abundance

without it, you're DOOOOOMED

Tigger

I'm tall (6'2")and conventionally handsome
Dark hair brown eyes
When I was in college I was skinny runner build and the ladies loved it
All clothes looked good and I thought I was too skinny
So I bulked up
I got up to 15 stone of muscle and I was happIer and more confident and I met the woman I married but I definitely didn't get as much attention
Once I was married I became more interested in strength than body so I got up to 18 stone power lifter size
It's nice being big but you seroously limit thenumebr of women that are attracted to you
I think Taht 6'2" at 12 stone is 60% at 15 stone is 20% and at 18stone is 5-%
But I'm now 16 stone still happens my married and big enough that I get the respect I like to get but not so big clothes don't fit

If my son is my height I'd reccomend he be 14-15 stone and fit if he wants to attract a partner

My ideal combination would be to be around 6 foot and 11 to 11.5 stone - BMI of about 21. Good height, above average without standing out for your height. Not so tall that you suffer back pain or inconvenience with everyday life eg. beds being too small. Tall enough that even when you lose height as you age you will still likely stay above 5'10.
Light enough that you can sprint quickly, feel nimble, jump high, feel atheltic, clothes look good on you, but not so light that you look too thin, have no muscle mass etc.
Think something like David Beckhams build during his football career.

I voted.
But I am a woman!
I'm going to go with a good body because it's a man's world. The amount of fab looking women I have seen with rough looking men I can't count!
Women are more attracted to personality.
If it's a choice, face or body, I choose body, because attraction grows the more you know someone.

As someone who's always been a few pounds overweight and with an average at best visage, I'd kill to have a handsome face and skinny body.

I would go for handsome face- skinny body because if you have a handsome face you can always workout your skinny body but if you have a great body - ugly face you can't workout the face.

Sorry this is one of the most ridiculous things I've read on here, imagine for one second that a woman posted this about her daughter - she would recommend a certain weight for her daughter to be so men would fancy her!
Once your son is within a healthy range and does not feel he has been pressured into weighing a certain amount then he will have confidence in himself - which is what attracts a partner anyway.

i said reccomend not insist!!
he can do what the fcuk he wants but if he asked i'd answer

you think younger men don't ask men they look up to about how to attract women or get a job or other things?
i've been asked by friends many times about weight lifting to attrct girls or fo self confidence, i remember once being asked if getting a motorbike would attract women.

the answer i gave was the same as most times " confidence is key , if being stronger or more muscely or having a bike makes you happier and more confident then it will work"

It's impossible for you to say now, that between 14-15 stone at your height, will have him at his most confident though. Doesn't really make any sense. It may have been the case for you, but that's no indication of what he'll be like.

As the proud owner of both OP (by that I of course mean neither:))It makes not a shred of difference when it comes to getting women - bitches be crazy, women are complicated creatures.
Over the years I've found it pretty easy to get my dirty hands on one, more or less whenever, particularly as they get older - must be hormonal or something!

20's takes a bit of effort
30's they come to you
40's it's like a zombie apocalypse, they just spring out at you from all angles.

I'm dreading my 50's:D

well if he's my broad build 14-15 looks like 12-13
i hve a pic of me at 12.5 stone from 15 years ago that i stuck on fcebook and the lads all asked if i was on meth

what i ment was he shouldn't get as big as i got and that 14-15 max is enough, but i thnk people assume that 14-15 is big , its not at 6'2" 14 stone is skinney if it's muscle
